Fix Storing the Runtime Types (#1271)
A bunch of improvements to the suggestions
system. Suggestions are extracted to the tree data
structure. The tree allows producing better diffs
between the file versions. And better diffs reduce
the number of updates that are sent to the IDE
after a file change, and consequently fix the
issue when the runtime type got overwritten with
the compile-time type.

Enso Language Server

The Enso Language Server is responsibile for providing a remote-communication protocol for the runtime, exposing many of its features to the users. In addition it provides the backing service for much of the IDE functionality associated with the language. It encompasses the following functionality:

  • Introspection Services: Giving clients the ability to observe information about their running code including values, types, profiling information, and debugging.
  • Code Execution: The ability for clients to execute arbitrary Enso code in arbitrary scopes. This can be used in conjunction with the above to provide a REPL with an integrated debugger.
  • Code Completion: Sophisticated completion functionality that refines suggestions intelligently based on context.
  • Node Management: Tracking and providing the language server's internal node representation of the Enso program.
  • Code Analysis: Analysis functionality for Enso code (e.g. find usages, jump-to-definition, and so on).
  • Refactoring: Refactoring functionality for Enso code (e.g. rename, move, extract, and so on).
  • Type Interactions: Features for type-driven-development that allow users to interact with the types of their programs.
